MARIA AVRAMIDOU_ Architect
1 professional projects In the first issue of portfolio some professional projects are presented, conducted mostly in partnership with architectural offices. My participation in most cases was from concept design to construction details and supervision. That offered me the opportunity to understand the work and responsibilities of an architect, from concept to finding materials, construction methods and new technology. Moreover it got me in touch with manufacturers. Finally, I participated in supervision of construction along with a leading architect and autonomously.

Halkidiki
Elia Beach, Nikiti, Halkidiki. The project is about redesinging an old unfinished structure in order to be reused as a small hotel. The basic idea is the division of the existing construction into five cubic volumes. In this way the privacy between the rooms is going to be served better and the monolithic volume will break in smaller parts. The environment in which the building is located is characterized by intense natural vegetation and direct view and access to the sea, features that directly affected the design.The proposal is minimalistic, with references to materials, morphologies and materiality of the “summer”. The selected materials are natural and friendly to the environment (wood-fabric). Personal involvement: Concept, design, permition plans, fire protection plans, water and sanitation plans, renders and presentation.

Renders of the exhibition in Cedefop’s premises
Old roots for new routes. Mobile exhibition for CEDEFOP, EUROPEAN UNION Thessaloniki, Brussells Design The proposed exhibition design focuses on providing a united image consisting of smaller subsections, an idea inspired by Cedefop’s spirit. Therefore, smaller surfaces are used to create a 3dimensional puzzle, which functions like a spine bearing images, text, collages, but on the same time it creates show cases in order for the machinery, publications and other Cedefop’s objects to be displayed. The exhibition actually consists of stepped surfaces that gradually escalate and degrade within the space, an arrangement that designates the visitors flow. This linear spatial arrangement, helps to avoid the visitors overcrowding and provide an unobstructed flow within. The proposed system is made of various surfaces joined together, through their specially for this purpose designed joints. The surfaces can easily be assembled and disassembled within hours and turn into a flat pack, that can easily be constructed, transfered or stored. Curation The proposal aims to an attractive and inviting design, even to those that have no knoweldge about Cedefop’s work and mission. The main curation idea is to present CEDEFOP’s history in a planned way with subregions , for easier understanding. Personal involvement: Concept, design, renders, presentation, plans, curation, supervision.

The design of the exhibition targeted mainly to the easy navigation of the customer within the shop, who may take the necessary product information without needing the help of a specialist. For this reason, the promotion of products is organized into six categories according to their mounting space (indoor, outdoor, architectural lighting, street lighting, solatubes and ceiling lighting). The selected materials are wood, industrial floor and graphics printed on vinyl stickers for explaining the operation of the store.

Installation for C. P. Cavafy
07
Thessaloniki Staint Minas Stoa, Thessaloniki. This installation has been conceived on the occasion of 150 years since the birth of Constantine Cavafy, poet of “Ithaka” and “Waiting for the Barbarians”. It celebrates the most distinguished Greek poet of the twentieth century and its mission is to draw the attention of the greater public on his timeless poetry.
Program: Installation Date: 2014 Team: ΝοtANumber Architects, M. Avramidou, N. Koutroulos.
The project occupies part of an arcade that connects two busy streets in the centre of Thessaloniki, Greece. The arcade penetrates a derelict building of the 1900s once a bustling place packed with merchants. A clump of glowing columns resembling tree-trunks invite the passersby to explore the otherwise dark arcade. People enter this artificial garden of poetry through a heavy iron door that adds to the lyricism of the picture. The 5m high columns are wrapped in multiple layers of tracing paper and lit from inside. The paper is peeled like the bark of a tree revealing poems of Cavafy inside luminous hollows. The more the paper is peeled the clearer the poems can be read while forming stratifications of light and shadow. There are three types of columns with different diameters, corresponding to the three different types of Cavafy’s poems – the sensual, the philosophical and the historical. This scenographic experience is accompanied with audio versions and readouts of his work and recorded sounds from the streets of Alexandria, his home town and muse. The installation was constructed entirely by the architects team and simultaneously planned in situ. The poems were divided into three categories and placed in columns with different diameters. The coating of the poems was a special paper that was peeled to reveal the poems, inviting the visitor to explore the space and interact with the installation. The installation’s space

The main goals of the reconstructions were to make the space look bigger, brighter and modern. A contemporary minimal wooden structural system was designed to accomodate the products display. The structure bears the shelves, five big baskets, whereas in some cases it is just decorative to deifne the limits of each product display. Wood, white, light, marble and carpets were the chosen materials, to best promote the business’s philosophy, production methods and products.

Created as a charming respite from the city’s hustle and bustle, the wood-lined structure houses Frudisiac, a contemporary juice bar and cafe. Clad in standing-seam black sheet metal, this urban cabin has a monolithic and low-key appearance during the day. In contrast, the interior is covered with light spruce panels. Large windows and skylights flood the cafe with natural light during the day. At night however, the building appears to glow; large openings frame indoor activity and the indoor illumination accentuates the sharp contrast between metal and wood.

Thessaloniki
Ilioupoli Thessaloniki. The apartment will be occupied by a young couple. The energy evaluation placed it on the scale E so thermal insulation was applied on the facade, the window frames were replaced with energy efficient ones, insulating coating was added on the roof and energy efficient fireplace upgraded the apartment to scale B. Changes related to home take into account present and future needs of users and designed in such a way that they are modern and remain timeless. Special care was taken with respect to the natural lighting, as the previous layout did not allow sufficient illumination of the apartment. Entering someone in the apartment, faces the door to the bathroom. Therefore a “secret” door was designed. With special hidden lighting design, ceilings achieved differentiation of sequencing spaces and optical switch, making them look spacious.

Kastoria, Chloe region. The proposal involves the design of a blood station in the city of Kastoria. The building is divided into two floors, ground floor and basement. On level 1 the surgery, the blood donation room, a small storage room, waiting room and toilets and WC for disabled are placed. On level 0 offices, a small warehouse and restrooms are located. In the basement a multipurpose room and restrooms are designed. The exterior was formed incrementally so that it can host outdoor events and able to integrate with the multi room use underground. The design took into account the local climatic characteristics. So the North, West and East facades are “sealed� and only to South one is transparent to ensure the necessary lighting and evaporation of the building. The aim of the design was to create a landmark for the region. Personal involvement: design, general construction plans.

The residence was designed to provide two main functions-a residence and professional office- which will operate independently at level 0 (+ 1m), on a seperate but communicating volume next to the residence. This enables the owner to initially construct the volume of the residence and then the office, if he so chooses. Internally, the plan selected to be open plan, with a croos shaped circulation area that individual spaces. The building is divided into three levels. At level 0 (+ 1.00m) is placed the elevated entrance (common for office and housing), the living room, the kitchen, the dining room with the hanging table and a small WC. At level 1 (+4.5m) the most private areas are placed. The house has “sealed facades� to south due to climatic conditions and large openings on the South and East side. The key element of the concept is the cross shaped circulation area, but also the replacement of the classic furniture with a repetitive minimalist rectangular volume, placed on the walls to let the rest of the free plan was another one.

4dimensional architecture_ designing for the homeless
1
The research paper “Four dimensional architecture, designing for the homeless” studies the socio-political phenomenon of homelessness. For the holistic approach of the phenomenon, the study reffered to other sciences, such as psychology, history, etc. While in the last century the homeless shelters tend to create a new architectural typology, there is no systematic record of them, resulting into limited literature sources. The survey dealt with the exploration of contemporary homelessness situation (size, characteristics, causes leading to homelessness). It also attempted to record and evaluate the official actions of the greek state about social policy on housing, the public space design and the development of homeless shelters. The complexity and sensitivity of the problem requires cooperation of various sciences (interdisciplinary planning teams-design) for holistic understanding and treatment of homelessnedd. Because the shelters that will accommodate homeless people have as a basic purpose of their reintegration in society is also necessary to investigate the psychosocial needs of people living in the street. Finally for the effective operation of these stryctures, development and effective integration of the reintegration process, specific and properly designed spaces required. In this context we studied and analyzed examples of modern homeless shelters, supsupportive housing buildings and re-uses of building stock. Analysis of selected examples of supporting showed a series of common architectural characteristics. The investigation focused in particular on the spatial features of these structures, which affect the psychology of the users (eg. Lighting, materials, colors, openings, etc.). Finally design proposals were included, mainly student works of the Department of the Aristotle University of Architecture in Thessaloniki that were the result of architectural design workshops, architectural competitions and dissertations.

HOTEL DESIGN
COMPETITION
A hotel in the area of an existing lighthouse in Capo di Murro di Porco, Siracusa, Italy for writers seeking for inspiration. The hotel is designed for writers that need inspiration. Based on the parts of the Greek tragedy, we designed a space that will provide the users with a personal experience in order to inspire them and allow them to create under the light of knowledge. The process begins by entering the hotelentrance, takes place through the stasima-episodia, and is completed with the exit-Catharsis. Consequently, the personal studios-rooms are located upon the sea, at a distance from the cliff, providing the users with an opportunity to observe the lighthouse from an alternative view and come in touch with the natural element of the water (purification).

Urban Lab.
Archaiological Museum area, Thessaloniki. Project’s main objective is to “Re-condense City” through theorizing sustainability in urban scale. The proposal relates to a new residential unit, part of a larger area, which has the capacity to change according to the needs of its residents. The residents together with a specialist periodically decide and design the new public space that is created within the four urban blocks. The new urban space is actually a wooden platform hosting all of the urban functions.
Area: 3000 sqm Programm: New typology of public space Date: 2012 Type: Competition- Honorable mention Team: Maria Avramidou
The wooden platform consists of some changeable and some fixed parts. The changeable parts are composed of cubical wooden surfaces with dimensions of 2x2m that can removed and replaced by other materials and functions (plants, water, light, seats). On either side of them, there are the fixed parts for the installation of street furniture, the storage of the wooden surfaces of the changeable parts and also for the service of the entrance in residences. In addition, there are rods for hanging shades or other items in order for the space to be used in all seasons. This creates a sense of social responsibility and maintenance of public space by the residents and the platform is a key expression of its people. Furthermore, the uncovered interior spaces of the apartment blocks and the reused urban voids are the “lungs” of the new residential unit, as they house urban agriculture and vegetation, changing the microclimate and biodiversity locally and supralocal. The proposal is offered to residents in the initial phase, as shown below, ie, the variable part of the cross blank to form by the residents with the advice of the specialist Personal involvement: concept, initial design stage, final plans and presentation.

Molewa, China. The competition is about the design of a new city, Molewa, that will accomodate housing, cultural and commercial buildings and its main landmark, the Flower Ocean. This sets the design problem as one that has to manage density in housing and how that translates in the future performance of the project as a community of its own but also its relation with the overall master plan of the new city. This orchestrated anarchy on a stepped landscape is reminiscent of the Miao villages in China. This cultural precedent evident on the image of the housing complex is further reinforced by the extensive use of wood for the façade as opposed to treated exposed reinforced concrete for the slabs.

The apartment types are planned based mainly on the orientation and on the view to the Flower Ocean. On the first level, all the apartments have spacious private gardens. On the second level and above, the apartments have 10% of their gross area as balconies and some communal spaces are placed within. On the upper levels the apartments become pent¬houses, having spacious green roof terraces. The plans’ variations can be seen in diagram 1.

The design strategy was to redefine the relationship between people,land and architecture.The proposal is about a building that expresses the contemporary spirit,using traditional materials in a contemporary way and consisting a new local and supralocal landmark. A semi-underground foyer is housed by a synthesis of sloped triangles that on the ground floor level create a new square,repairing the urban fabric.Hence,the entrance to the museum is not obvious and an interactive play is created,aiming to make the visitor observe the area.Once the visitor notices the entrance,the procedure to get to the exhibition functions as a filtration,providing the necessary stimulants.The foyer,a lecture room and the entrance to the café-that is housed in a listed building-are placed there. The building consists of a protective shell,the exhibition space and the space between-where exhibits are hung.The semi-transparent shell allows views of the hung exhibits to invite the passenger in. Within it there is a 3storey cube (exhibition space) and the space between the shell and the cube is used for some exhibits to be hung,so as to provide a 3d view.The walls of the cube become the show cases and some cantilevers allow a more direct view of them.A central staircase aids the natural ventilation and the roof is used for social interaction.

The aim was to create a specially designed environment so that visitors of the museum to be able to perceive the three dimensions of the exhibits. To achieve this, the space that houses theM is composed of two elements, the facade’s shell and the inner cube. The intermediate space is the space for the suspension of objects.

The entrance to the museum is not easily spotted. The visitor must wander around the site to locate,making them to see the interisting urban environment. The foyer is positioned semi-undergound, creating an open air public square on the above(roof) and a semi-public below.

Advanced Sustainable Design Master Degree was about how we can transform our built environment through putting sustainable development into practice. The design-based programme emphased not only on gaining knowledge of environmental technology but on utilising skills in synthesising design solutions specific to place, community and habitat. One of the great challenges that the program faces is that of making sense and ordering the enormous volumes of information around sustainability.

Reasearch Thesis
finding sustainability in urban lost spaces_ Master’s Thesis Contemporary urban environment is characterised by the loss of order and presents a disjointed, fragmented and inconsistent image, as the urban fabric is missing its coherent flow. This happens mainly because of the fact that new landscapes emerge within the post industrial city endangering its physical and social function, mainly mentioned in the relevant literature as lost spaces. Trancik defines them as “the undesirable urban areas that are in need of redesign; antispaces, making no positive contribution to their surroundings or users”.
Master’s dissertation University of Edinburgh Tutor in charge: Professor Cristina Gonzalez-Longo Date: September 2011 Grade: 72% Team: M. Avramidou
This project is seeking to provide a new model of analysis of lost spaces within the urban context in order to explore their potential as sustainable transformation elements.Its application on specific case studies in Edinburgh will allow testing its suitability The compact city can constitute a model for sustainability, as it can provide healthy living and working environments to its inhabitants. Lost spaces disrupt this desirable compactness to a degree; but their emptiness can provide the necessary ground for sustainable redevelopment, especially in densely built urban areas.
TOWARDS A NEW METHOD OF ANALYSIS AND THE METHODOLOGY FOR TESTING IT In order to shape the new method of analysis a specific theoretical framework was critically examined (sustainability guides and theories of urban spatial analysis). Although the guides examine sustainable directives, they tend to treat the sites as individual objects, isolated from their surroundings. The lost space’s context is an important factor for their examination, due to the fact that the complex urban environment consists of several elements that interact with each other. In order to gain a better understanding of them, their contextualization is essential. For this reason, the second part of the theoretical framework examines three relative theories of urban spatial analysis that Roger Trancik (1986) developed in order to examine lost spaces. The two main parts that shape our method of analysis complement each other, as both of them on their own are considered to be incomplete for our study. The criteria that will be used cannot be considered to be definitive or exhaustive, as different approaches may address the matter in a considerably different way. The fact that some of the indicators are qualitative and not quantitative makes the analysis even more complex, as does the fact that lost spaces lack specific and typical characteristics.

Master’s Thesis
STAGE 0+DEFINING THE STUDY AREA
The historical development analysis will examine an area of the city that featured industrial activity, and consequently created lost spaces through the relocation of the aforementioned activity, and will constitute the study area.
the new method of analysis and study of the area under the three categories, some basic conclusions are non-viable everyday environment for the local community,no public spaces and no pedestrian and The social dissolution is evident. Finally the area lacks of a specific character (genius loci). The finding was the identification of five nodes of urban lost spaces.
STAGE 2+ANALYSING THE SUSTAINABILITY (SOCIAL,ECONOMIC,ENVIRONMENTAL) OF THE FOUND LOST SPACES
Their availability in natural resources, such as the sun and wind, the quality of soil or the percentage of rain, as well as their treeless land, indicates the existence of their environmental value.Their redefinition within the urban fabric by the implementation of new uses that will be addressed to all the members of the community could assist to the creation of the missing linking and social networks. Additionally to this, all the case studies are related to spaces where social interaction is evident.
STAGE 3+RECOMMENDATIONS ABOUT THE SUSTAINABLE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE LOST SPACES AND THE STUDY AREA. A SUSTAINABLE NETWORK The proposed network can function as a corridor to assist biodiversity to be introduced within the urban study area. The parks will be accessible by all members of the community and the public should be involved in decision making, to provide details such as those found in the analysis of their visionsfor the region. These spaces can be the meeting point of the past with newgenerations to be interaction between social networks. This intervention can provide a solution with low environmental impact and energy savings, by making use of the least possible means. Moreover, by mixing public spaces with the existing uses within the urban context of the study area will help minimize the transportation needs and preserve the quality of air and the natural environment and biodiversity of it.The area can be transformed into a sustainable district where the residents can work, live and spend their leisure time in compact and well-interconnected communities.

STAGE ONE/// CONTEXTUALIZING DECONSTRUCTION The project is based on the concept of Deconstruction in the sense of reusing derelict structures not only as building components but as shells and structures as well. The study involved the localization and evaluation of such structures around Edinburgh and the most interesting site, as far as the history, the derelict buildings and the quality of its surroundings are concerned, was chosen to be redeveloped as Deconstruction Park. The site is still reminiscent of its industrial past, as it is used to facilitate the Tram Depot a long time ago, many alterations took place and now two warehouses (shells) are left behind, a chimney and some gable walls. There are other derelict structures in the surrounding area as well and the topography is characterized by an extensive vacant land, which apart from the negative consequences to the urban fabric’s coherence, it causes social dissolution. The locals were asked about their perception of the site in order to gain a better understanding of it.

STAGE TWO/// CREATING A DYNAMIC MASTERPLAN the project is addressed to four different users (university students, residents, children and visitors) and that fact creates four or more different spatial relationships within the site, something that is a predominant factor of our project design. This results into constant change of the character of the site. In other words, the interventions will control the passing through the site flow, while at the same time will allow the flow to change and respond to the requirements of the users. This suggests that the interventions will be permanent, temporary and dynamic in nature.

After the specification of these spaces within the site (masterplan phase 1), on a second stage the masterplan follows the design lines from the previous phase and divides its functions into five vertical parallel layers, the social, the leisure, the circualtion, the cultural and the professional layer. These layers are addressing to the various users of the site and they intersect with each other creating a network of flows (masterplan phase 2). The project due to its design and its specific uses of the deconstruction park, will lead to economic, environmental, cultural and social benefits in the area of interest.

STAGE THREE/// DESIGN FOR RECONSTRUCTION The design of the building is engaged with a re Construction agenda about using reclaimed materials, it needs to respond to emerging ways in which carbon use will be regulated. Better regulation of operational energy is carefully considered as far as the environmental impact of building materials and assemblies are concerned. Finally, one of the main concerns of the design is to maintain comfort levels for the user and the design to elegantly integrate heating, cooling and ventilation into the building fabric.
